· On the Start menu, click Settings > System > Storage.

· Under Recycle bin, click Empty recycle bin > Yes, I'm sure.

· Tip To see what's in your Recycle Bin before you empty it, open it from your desktop.

Save fewer OneDrive files on your PC

It's convenient to have your OneDrive files saved offline so you can use them when you're not connected to the Internet. But if you're running low on drive space, you can save fewer OneDrive folders offline. You'll still be able
to get to them from OneDrive.com, but they won't take up space on your PC. To save fewer OneDrive folders offline, follow these steps:

· Go to the right side of the taskbar and find the OneDrive icon. If you don't see it, click the Show hidden icons arrow and see if it's there.

· Right-click the OneDrive icon, and then click Settings > Choose folders > Choose folders.

· Clear the check boxes for the folders that you don't want saved on your PC, and then click OK.
